I played a Finished version of this game.I gotta say it looks good. The driving mechanics are a little different ,but barely noticable.Its also free roaming game like GTA. You get to choose where to go to next and you can challenge other drivers,if you have enough cash for the bet. If you like NFS underground,You'll definately like part 2 . Its not to hard to drive the cars either. Its not like DRIV3R at all.Graphics looked good also. I only played about 20 minutes,but from what I saw its been improved.You definately have the feel of being on the real street underground scene. But I didn't see any cops?? So I guess no tickets. Well this review is based on 20 minutes of gameplay,but I gotta say Looks like a winner.Also Brooke Burke (that hot brunette on wild on E)is your personal narrator in the game. PLEASE NOTE: I played a version of this game before it was realeased.This Game Rocks in more ways than I can even explain.If you like racing games you'll LOVE NFSU2! It Raises The bar on this franchise, I can say honestly part 2 is better than 1st game.

I bought this game last night and played about 5 hours of it,wow I was blown away.I've never had a (racing) gaming experience like that,just able to drive around and race people around many of the neiberhoods and freeways or enter any of the Underground races anytime.

PROS(there are no cons im not being generous just honest)
1.Graphics are sick (in a good way)
2.race whenever you want wherever you want
3.crazy amount of upgrades you can do whatever you
want to your vehicle,literally It will have Grand Turismo
fans drooling
4.cars handle well and the game is huge I told ya
earlier I played over 5 hrs. of the game well
I've only opened up or beaten 4 percent of the
game.It keeps track of all you stats.ALL OF THEM!

PS2 Version is better

This game is awesome amounts of fun, which I probably don't need to tell you 'cause if you're reading this then you already know that. IT IS HUGE. There is so much stuff in this game it's unreal.

I personally don't own it yet, but I've played both the PS2 version and the xbox version at friends houses, and while the xbox should be able to get better graphics based on its system, the PS2 version is superior. The colors are sharper, the graphics are more intense, and the sounds are more hardcore.

When I get this (hopefully for Christmas) I'm getting the PS2 version because it is better.

Need For "Need for Speed Undground 2"

I have the first "NFS Underground" and I really enjoyed it but I was worried that Underground 2 would not be different enough to spend money on it. So I rented it. I was blown away by how cool it is, so I went and bought it.

Pros (over the first game)

1. You get Nos much earlier in the game (than U1).

2. The points you get for "avoiding accidents" or "power slides" etc. instantly refill your Nos meter.

3. The game flows better, because you drive (in a free ride mode) from race to race, and you pick where you go.

4. There are more race types.

5. If you are struggling with a certain type of race, you can go to the garage and gear your car for a certain type of race.

6. You get sponsors and you scroll through different companies and names and you choose which you want. (Some contracts require certain types of races, and pay more money)

7. When you are put on a magazine cover, you move your car around until you are satisfied and you take the picture.

8. You can own multiple cars (including SUVs, Sports cars, and the original "U1" cars)

9. There is a GPS you can turn on to guide you to different events (aside from a very detail city map)

10. More details which you can upgrade on your car. Even the new available paint colors pay incredible attention to detail.

Cons:

1. I have played the game for hours and I am only 15 % through the game

2. I am only 15% through the game and the races are starting to get much harder

(I'm a little worried the game may go on too long and become too difficult and I have never enjoyed games that make you repeat the same thing over and over.)

The game is awesome! If you liked Underground, you will like Underground 2 even more. I think it is definitely the best car racing game available. If you rent it, you are going to want to buy it.

I haven't had this much fun with a game right out of the gate since NBA Street Vol. 2. Hat's off to EA for making a game that is instantly accessible but apparently offers incredible depth.
First, the racing: The controls are a bit too arcade, but there is a great variety of race types that all feel very different, and the car performance is noticible enough to give a ton of playability. Also, while not totally realistic (crashing has minimal consequences for example) the racing does give a great feeling of speed.
Second, the rest: The custimization is awesome! I'm not a huge car buff, but I quickly became obsessed with the goal of making my car look as hot as possible. The gameplay outside of the races is fun too: Getting sponsored, scoring covers, looking at the different shops is all cool. The process of doing it is first rate too, with a GPS to guide you, and great presentation for the body, performance and graphics shops.
Third, the multiplayer: Split screen works really well, especially since you can take your custom car out against your friends'. I haven't tried it on Live yet but I think that will be pretty hot also.
Finally, this game is one of the best videogames I have ever played, going back to my Genesis days. The only slight knock is that the music is annoying (Korn blows) but I'm sure some people will like that too. Buy this game.

Slow starter, but shines later

At first glance, I did not like this game and was ready to pop in burnout 3 again. I thought the gameplay was bad and the sense of speed was slow, but you have to earn your wheels to go faster in this baby. It felt a bit like the first Underground and definitely arcade style and not a real driving sim, but this time you can basically drive anywhere and the game doesn't restrict you to go certain routes in most of the modes. Some people may not like this, but for me anyway, it leaves for more possibilities. I was disappointed they didn't offer "custom soundtracks" you have to deal with what they give you, it's not all bad, but ever new racing should have a "custom soundtrack option" very weird. I was disappointed there is no "visual car damage" some might be seriously turned off about that, but if you don't care, then play on. Sweet graphics, no popup, no slowdown and the load times aren't that bad, but I heard the PS2 has a lot of that. Online play seemed smooth to me so far, but it's early on, so we'll see how that goes later. Overall, a good racer with tons of modes, tons of cars (real licensed cars like Ford, Chevy, Dodge etc) and tracks to earn, good graphics, and good fun. You'll like it.
